US black and Latino male voters
We discuss if the male vote is a problem or opportunity ahead of the US election.
In less than two weeks, Americans will elect their new president. When it comes to voters, both Donald Trump and Kamala Harris know that getting black and Latino men on their side could be vital.
There are question marks over whether Kamala Harris will get the levels of support from those voters that she might hope for. It has led to much discussion about whether she has a so-called βman problemβ, especially as there are suggestions that Donald Trump is increasing his appeal in this respect. Former president Barack Obama also recently asked if some of those men might have an issue seeing a woman as the countryβs leader.
In this edition, black and Latino men across the United States discuss the issues that matter to them and who they want to see as the next president.
βHillary Clinton was a woman and I disagree on a lot of stuff with Hillary Clinton,β says David Rodriguez, who is from Pennsylvania. βBut at least Hillary Clinton was a leader. This lady (Kamala Harris) is not a leader.β
βI have trouble understanding the logic,β says Dr Tim Golden, a lawyer and professor of philosophy at Whitman College, Washington. βSince when has the Republican Party had policies that positively affect the black community?β
Hosted by Krupa Padhy, with conversations by Luke Jones and Mark Lowen.
